"Don't worry, military advisor. Even if there are no cavalry, I will let them experience the power of our Hetao army." Dugu said confidently.
When Chu Lianfeng heard this, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Commander Du, are we going to compete with the deer army?"
Dugu laughed: "General, isn't the Zhulu Army the Hetao Army?"
Chu Lianfeng's thoughts were seen through, but he was a man who had seen some troubles after all, so he quickly said: "Commander, what the general is saying is, can we go up first?"
Dugu shook his head quickly: "This is not possible. Your Zhulu Army suffered too heavy losses when they wiped out the Holy Sect of Paradise on Yangzhou Road, and it has not fully recovered yet. But don't worry, General Chu, this battle will definitely be fought."
Chu Lianfeng curled his lips. If he was facing others, he would still argue, but facing Dugu, an old gangster, there was no way he could take anything out of his mouth.
Xuanji and Chu Lianfeng also hit it off. Seeing that Chu Lianfeng was a little depressed, he said with a smile: "General Chu, Jinhua Sanyue is just a small country of Zu'er. It is not much more difficult to destroy them than to destroy Dongbo. Here.
The sky is too small. If the general is interested, someone will definitely recommend the general to my lord when our Chinese army goes on an expedition beyond the Great Wall."
"Do you really mean what the military advisor said?" Chu Lianfeng was immediately overjoyed. Jinhua Mitsukoshi's structure was indeed a bit too small, and the real strong enemy was still outside the Great Wall. For thousands of years, the Northern Expedition to Fenglang Juxu outside the Great Wall has always been the most powerful man in China.
Shang Rongguang originally thought that when the Hetao army marched north, his Zhulu Corps would definitely stay in China, but he didn't know that Xuanji actually wanted to take him with him. How could Chu Lianfeng not be happy?
"Seriously." Xuanji shook his feather fan and said with a smile.
On the south bank of Zhujin Ferry, 150,000 infantrymen from the Hetao White Tiger and Honor Regiments, as well as Fu Ruoshui's Fengwu Regiment and Li Xiao's 10,000 cavalry have gathered, while soldiers from the Red Snake Regiment and the Zhulu Regiment are passing through the floating bridge in an orderly manner.
Since the Hetao army had already established a firm position, and the enemy's navy was covering the area near the ferry, the Mitsukoshi Allied Forces did not launch an active attack, but parked there quietly, waiting for the drums of the decisive battle to sound.
The battle between Qian Shuang and Li Xiao's cavalry just now has fully demonstrated the combat effectiveness of the Hetao army. Many generals among Jinhua Mitsukoshi have never directly fought against the Hetao. Therefore, although they are worried about the reputation of the Hetao, they still feel in their hearts
Somewhat dissatisfied. But the battle just now dispelled all their doubts. No wonder Hetao has been able to dominate the world and stop and kill gods in recent years. It is indeed a well-deserved reputation.
Although Wen Touwu was a bit cowardly, he was still able to discern the general trend. After realizing that he had no way out, he simply risked everything, which was quite a bit heroic.
"General Jiashan, General Qian's troops suffered heavy losses just now. You can lead 30,000 soldiers to help him defend our left flank." Wen Touwu said loudly.
Hearing this, Che Ye quickly said gratefully: "Your Highness really understands the righteousness. I thank your Majesty for your assistance."
This battle is related to Mitsukoshi's life and death, so the three kingdoms' rulers all fight in person. The Golden Flower Mitsukoshi has been intermarried with each other for hundreds of years, so the kinship relationship between the princes and nobles of each country is unclear. In addition, the Mitsukoshi Kingdom has always been
They are like-minded, so the relationship between the three countries is very good.
Wen Touwu said magnanimously: "Your Highness is serious. This battle is related to the survival of Mitsukoshi. If we lose, our country will be destroyed. No one can be selfish."
After saying this, the young king snorted. Che Ye and Gong Shenglong also looked unhappy. They naturally understood what Wen Touwu meant.
As the boss of Jinhua Mitsukoshi, Jinhua did not show the style of their leader at this critical juncture. Of Jinhua's 300,000 troops, 100,000 were stationed at Anran Ferry under the leadership of General Luo Pingjiang, and 50,000 were led by Huo Liang
Led by Jin, the remaining 150,000 elite troops were stationed at Luqing City, the royal capital. Under the leadership of Park Zhicheng, they were actually in Zhuxi City, thirty miles behind them. Obviously, they wanted to preserve their strength so that they could reap the benefits when the time came.
Even the coward Wen Touwu knew what Park Zhicheng was planning. However, they had to fight. Mitsukoshi was weak in national power. Together, they could barely fight the Hetao, but after they separated, they would definitely be defeated.
The Hetao was easily defeated one by one. With no good generals at the top and no elite soldiers at the bottom, Mitsukoshi could only fight a positional battle with the Hetao. If he was lucky enough to win, then at least he would be safe for a while. If he lost, the result would be no different, at most.
It's just the difference between dying early and dying late. But they believe that when they and Hetao are both in danger, Jinhua will definitely send troops to help.
"If the location chosen by the Hetao to cross the river is within the Kingdom of Golden Flower, we will do the same thing." Gong Shenglong thought in his heart.
The Three Vietnam Allied Forces had no choice. Jinhua could sit back and watch Hetao cross the river south, but they couldn't. At least An Yue and Chu Yue couldn't.
Zhuxi City in Anyue is the only way for Anyue and Chu Yue to enter Qiyue. It is connected to the Xijiang River in the north and the Death Swamp in the south. Park Zhicheng's 150,000 elite troops are stationed here. With his commanding skills, he can completely defeat the Hetao army.
Block here. And if the Hetao army is stationed here, it will definitely be able to easily cut off the connection between Anyue, Chuyue and Qiyue Jinhua. Under the absolute superiority of troops in Hetao and the brutal fire attack, Anyue and Chuyue will definitely
Hard to escape.
"Let's fight, this battle is either your death or my death." Wen Towu and others looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
The passionate cowhide war drums rumbled, and the Hetao, with the infantry as the center and the cavalry as the two wings, slowly pressed towards the Mitsukoshi Allied Forces, which had already been waiting in formation. Obviously, both sides hoped to use this upright battle of annihilation.
to defend their position.
For Jinhua Mitsukoshi, this 400,000-strong army is already the overwhelming strength of the country. If defeated, Mitsukoshi will not have even one regular army to resist the front of Hetao. Facing the overwhelming advantage of the Hetao army, the precedent of Dongbo is
their future.
For the Hetao, it cannot fail. This is the first battle for the Hetao to enter the Mitsukoshi area. Even if it is a tie, Dugu will never tolerate it. The Hetao must win, and the victory must be quite beautiful, so that it can win the greatest victory.
Destroy the opponent's confidence.
Seeing such a formation in Hetao, He Qianyun, the top general of the Chinese army of the Mitsukoshi Allied Forces, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the spearmen at the front to slowly retreat sideways, and the swordsmen and shieldmen behind to follow. He had a great impact on the Hetao cavalry.
There was some fear, so at the beginning a large number of pikemen were mobilized at the forefront of the battle formation, in order to prevent the Hetao cavalry from breaking through the center. But now it seems that Hetao hopes that the soldiers will defeat them in a positive manner.
He Qianyun let out a cold snort from his nostrils, Hetao was a little too arrogant. Youdao is the wrath of a king, and it bleeds thousands of miles. The wrath of a common man, blood splashes three feet. The order of Hetao to subjugate the country and exterminate the clan has already spread throughout Mitsukoshi
, all the people know that Hetao will never let them go, so they are all in high spirits. The current Mitsukoshi Allied Forces, both in terms of morale and combat effectiveness, are at an unprecedented peak. Although the combat effectiveness of the Hetao army is very good, He Qianyun
I believe that my army will be able to block the opponent's attack and then drive the opponent back to the north bank of the Xijiang River.
However, even though He Qianyun was very confident in his own army, He Qianyun never thought about annihilating the opponent. After all, that was too unrealistic.
"The enemy is coming, be careful! Soldiers, kill for the sake of the kingdom and your families!" He Qianyun shouted loudly.
The Mitsukoshi soldiers shouted loudly. Although the sound was very irregular and quite chaotic, it somewhat reflected their high fighting spirit.
The Sanyue Allied Forces were divided into three parts. He Qianyun led the Anyue soldiers to guard the central army, Qi Yue Qian Shuangfeng Sanlang led his own soldiers to guard the left wing, and Chu Yue Gong Haitao and Yu Wenqing guarded the right wing.
The layout of the Hetao army is also divided into three parts. Dugu's White Tiger Legion and Jiang Shenzhou's Legion of Honor are located in the central army. These are the two most powerful offensive armies among all the infantry armies in the Hetao. It is obvious that Dugu is ready to let the opponent have a good look at the Hetao infantry.
Li Xiao's Red Snake Legion faced Qi Yue's army, while Chu Lianfeng's Zhulu Legion faced Chu Yue with the help of Fu Ruoshui's Fengwu Legion.
"The commander-in-chief is really brave, he didn't even leave a reserve team." Xuanji said with a smile.
Dugu said proudly: "If it were against the Three Northeastern Kingdoms, I would not dare to be so confident, but if we are so cautious in dealing with these Mitsukoshi monkeys, it would be a joke. We don't have enough cavalry, but we
The infantry is still capable of performing the role of cavalry, and I believe that they are even better than the cavalry."
Xuanji continued to shake his feather fan and smiled silently. Dugu is an infantry commander and is not proficient in cavalry, so it is not surprising that he has this idea. However, as a military advisor in Hetao, Xuanji is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of various arms.
.However, the reason why Dugu is so proud does have his own reasons and capital.
As soon as the battle began, He Qianyun suffered a big loss. He originally thought that Hetao would advance layer by layer with an infantry phalanx, surrounded by cavalry on both sides, and swallow up his 400,000 troops in one go, so he specially notified Yu Wenqing, Qian Shuang and others.
People, let them deploy a large number of spearmen on the flanks to prevent things like Qian Shuang from happening.
However, he never thought that the sharpest knife in the Loop was in the middle.
When 20,000 heavy infantrymen wearing heavy armor with only two eyes exposed appeared in front of the Anyue soldiers, not only the ordinary Anyue soldiers were stunned, but also He Qianyun was stunned for a moment.
The art of war in the Jinhua Mitsukoshi area is far from comparable to that of the Central Plains and other places. Just like Jinhua Mitsukoshi, the heavy armor of their army can only be compared with the light armor of the Qingfeng soldiers, and has never seen such a change.
Infantryman.
The spear pierced the opponent's armor, and it could be said that it was broken with a sound. And the sword hit the opponent's armor, leaving only a shallow mark on it - the Hetao heavy cavalry was specially designed to deal with the heavy cavalry of the nomadic people outside the Great Wall.
The defensive power of infantry is naturally very important. And the opponent's iron spear, which is five feet long, will cause huge damage to our side every time it attacks.
The thin armor was easily pierced by the iron spear in front of it. With one shot, the powerful Hetao soldiers could easily pierce two or even three people.
"Soldiers in front, block it! Archers, where are the archers? Shoot their eyes!" He Qianyun shouted anxiously. As one of the few battlefield veterans in the Mitsukoshi region, He Qianyun deeply understood that on the battlefield,
He was not afraid of a brutal battle or too many casualties, but he was afraid that he would be helpless against the opponent's army. In such a situation, his own military morale would inevitably be shaken. However, he quickly saw the shortcomings of the Hetao heavy infantry, and that was their eyes.
The cold armor cannot cover the eyes of the Hetao infantry. As long as the opponent's eyes are shot, the opponent's heavy infantry will not be a concern.
However, Hetao has also considered this problem for a long time, so the eyes of the armor are particularly finely crafted. Not to mention An Yue's already panicked archers, I am afraid that even the best nomadic cavalry on the northwest prairie will have a hard time
Precise aiming.
The heavy infantry was still charging towards the Anyue soldiers with an unstoppable force. Although their pace was relatively slow, the Anyue soldiers could not contain the opponent's advance at all. Therefore, while the front lines on both wings were still holding fast, He Qianyun defended
A large area has been recessed in the central area. What was originally a straight line of defense soon became a crescent shape.
"Dig a trench, pour tung oil in it, and see how they get through!" He Qianyun gritted his teeth and said viciously.
To deal with the heavy infantry that is alone in the depths, the best way is to circle around and kill the light cavalry with bows and arrows, or break through from behind. The heavy infantry is powerful, but its mobility and flexibility are extremely poor, and it cannot defend against attacks coming from behind.
Attack, but the current Anyue soldiers are simply unable to do this, so He Qianyun can only adopt a more clumsy but relatively effective method.
The fire quickly ignited. At this point, the efficiency of the Anyue soldiers was still very good. As He Qianyun expected, the heavy infantry in Hetao immediately stopped. After all, they faced a meter wide
The heavy infantrymen wearing dozens of kilograms of armor could not jump across the two-foot-deep trench with a raging fire burning above it. However, their formation quickly dispersed, and the light infantrymen behind them immediately
Following up, he quickly used the sand on the ground to extinguish the fire, while the arrows of the archers behind him kept supporting the battlefield in front.
Although the offensive of the Hetao army was quite sharp, and the Mitsukoshi soldiers suffered heavy losses as soon as they clashed, everyone was well aware of the consequences of their defeat. Therefore, although their combat effectiveness and equipment were at an absolute disadvantage, they were not afraid.
Fighting for their lives. Every time the Hetao army took a step forward, there were a series of red footprints under their feet.
"The Red Snake Legion has recovered well. Li Xiao is really good at using troops. It seems that Feng Shuai's old subordinates do have some skills." Dugu stood on the high observation post and said with a smile.
Xuanji held the railing of the observation post with one hand, and still waved the feather fan in his hand with the other, and said with a smile: "Among our Hetao army, Li Xiao was the first general to hold heavy troops and sit on one side. Later, he went through many wars, so he was naturally not fuel-efficient.
The lantern. However, the Zhulu Legion is not bad, but the cooperation with the Phoenix Dance Legion is not harmonious, so there is not much progress."
The two wings of the Mitsukoshi Allied Forces were the 100,000 soldiers of Qi Yue and Chu Yue. Opposite Qi Yue was Li Xiao's Red Snake Legion, and opposite Chu Yue were Chu Lianfeng's Zhulu Legion and Fu Ruoshui's Feng Wu Legion.
The Red Snake Legion was originally led by Li Xiao. The officers and soldiers cooperated with each other very well, and their orders were consistent. Therefore, although there were only 50,000 soldiers, they still killed Qi Yue and retreated step by step. But Chu Lianfeng's side although
There is progress, but not only compared to the main force of the Hetao in the central part of the country, but even Li Xiao's Red Snake Legion is not as good as it is.
The foundation of Zhulu Legion was Xiangxing's Eastern Legion and Qingfeng's Royal Forest Army. Although a lot of additions were made later, Chu Lianfeng did not control the legion for a long time after all, and Chu Lianfeng's military attainments were not very high.
, so the combat effectiveness and the overall quality of the legions have always been lacking. Before this, the Zhulu Legion and the Fengwu Legion had never had the opportunity to cooperate, and there was also a lack of basic tacit understanding between the two, so they did not achieve the ideal results.
"Although we haven't suffered any losses yet, it will be hard to say if the battle continues to be stalemate like this. If the losses are too great, not only will the commander feel distressed, but it will also be difficult to explain to the lord." Dugu suddenly sighed:
"This guy Park Zhicheng is still waiting to reap the benefits. If he comes out now, I'm afraid we will really have some trouble."
As a military commander and a famous general with a political and overall vision, Dugu clearly understands what makes Hetao so powerful. He is definitely not a strategist like Luo Xiang, because in the end any confrontation between forces must rely on strength to speak for itself;
It is not that Chu Xiangcheng is a talented person with vast latitude and longitude. The stability of internal affairs cannot eliminate the existence of foreign enemies; nor is it that a famous military general like himself. Without the support of the masses from the bottom, he can only embark on the road of militarism.
The strength of the Hetao comes from the support of the people and the most ordinary soldiers, those elites who crawled out from the dead. It is precisely because of their existence that the Hetao can dominate the world. If it is like the clan that destroyed the Eastern Japanese,
, tens of thousands of people were killed in one go, and even if Loop's foundation was weak, it could not withstand such consumption. Therefore, while Dugu won the victory, he must minimize his losses.
"At this time, there are still intrigues, and Park Zhicheng is nothing more than that. This person may be a talented person in the military, but his strategic vision and judgment of the overall situation are somewhat lacking after all." Xuanji said with a smile. Standing on the tall watchtower,
The Xuanji feather fan scarf really feels like a wind god like jade.
